"ZERO TOLERANCE" Law: Mandatory Sentences for Child Abusers

OUR GOAL: Petition the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives and the President of the United States to pass the "Zero Tolerance" bill into Federal Law.

WHO:Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is an official non-profit 501(c)3 child abuse & neglect organization dedicated to educating the public on child abuse symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery. We need YOUR help to petition the government for mandatory sentencing for child abusers and pedophiles.

WHY: CHILD ABUSE IS KILLING OUR CHILDREN--What do you intend to do about it? The mental, physical and sexual torment that pedophiles and abusers are putting our children through is beyond all comprehension and unacceptable. Our children are growing up in a world that allows the very people who are suppose to protect them, abuse them--With only a slap on the wrist as punishment. It is time to make child abuse a heinous crime with ZERO TOLERANCE!

Zero Tolerance Definition: Zero tolerance imposes automatic punishment for infractions of a stated rule, with the intention of eliminating undesirable conduct. Zero-tolerance policies forbid persons in positions of authority from exercising discretion or changing punishments to fit the circumstances subjectively; they are required to impose a pre-determined punishment regardless of individual culpability, extenuating circumstances, or past history.

OUTCOME: The proposed "ZERO TOLERANCE" law would impose automatic mandatory sentences for any individual found guilty of child abuse with NO plea bargaining and NO parole.

WE PETITION THE GOVERNMENT TO IMPOSE:

1. Mandatory sentence for any individual found guilty of any crime relating to child abuse.

2. Mandatory sentence for any individual found guilty of allowing or causing the death of a child.

3. Abolish plea bargains for ALL crimes against children.

4. Abolish parole for ALL crimes against children.

OUR PETITION:

We, the undersigned, call on the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to pass a comprehensive Federal Law imposing mandatory sentences for anyone found guilty of child abuse with no plea bargaining and no parole.
